An Arab housewife rushed back to a domestic service hiring office in Abu Dhabi and requested a replacement of her Filipina housemaid, fearing her husband could be attracted by her good looks. The unnamed woman told the office that the maid she has just hired “pays too much attention to her appearance, cleanliness and make- up,” according to the Arabic language daily Alittihad. “She told us that she does not want a housemaid of this type as her husband could be attracted to her,” the paper said, quoting the office’s manager Nuhad Al Laji. “We tried to persuade her to keep that maid but she insisted on a replacement…we had no choice but to provide her with another one.”
